You are only gone
If I forget you
That could never happen
My brother, my friend
For memories, like oxygen
Breathe life again
Inhaling your laughter
Exhaling joy
You are only gone
If I let you go
But I don’t have to
Because flashbacks kindle the fire
Igniting hope
Warming my heart
And if my heart is warm
Then you are too.

In memory of my brother
who can still make me smile today.
